Matt Farley at the Bartell!
Hello Video Angels,We’re very pleased to announce we’ll be hosting a double feature screening of Matt Farley’s LOCAL LEGENDS and LOCAL LEGENDS: BLOODBATH with Matt Farley of Motern Media live and in person!
Matt will also be singing some of his songs in between the movies!
Who is Matt Farley? He’s the most prolific songwriter of the modern era, who has written 26,000 songs and counting, from topics ranging from celebrities, cities and towns, musical criticism, and everyday scenarios. He’s the man who has cracked the code on how to get paid as an independent musician in the digital era. The first film we’ll be screening, LOCAL LEGENDS, details how he started this practice, while its new sequel, LOCAL LEGENDS: BLOODBATH, shows the consequences of fame going to your head.
The screening will be at the Bartell Community Theater on June 29th at 4pm. Tickets are $25 and you can buy them here!
We’ll see you there!Four Star Video

I can't believe no one rented this when it was in new arrivals, you all need to collectively go to you room (and watch this movie).
Two guys that look almost the same except on of them is wearing glasses can rarely get along.
